Sure. In this context, Config::Model is not the best approach. 

I'm interested in making configuration easy for any user (including
newbies) even if it means providing a GUI [1] (which would not fit on
a really small system) with embedded help and immediate error return
(i.e. at "set" time, not at "save" time)

Sure. I do think Augeas is a good project with a lot of great ideas.
(And I'll probably use it because it will provide a lot of
parser/writer for configuration files)
